When you’re grinding out three games in three days… Get good goaltending, check. Stay out of the box, mostly check. Keep your lines rolling, check. Get contributions from the third and fourth lines…
That’s a big check.
Kinasewich banks one in to start. Morency scores on a breakaway. That’s not bad.
The defense does its job; yeah, the shots were lopsided early, but it didn’t feel like 10-1, not the way it did last night at 12-0 or whatever it was. Things get better, they get skating, they get shooting — 30-12 the rest of the way, I guess — and they’re back at .500.
And you go from there, beginning bright and early Wednesday.

Creamsicle madness! Never thought I’d be so thrilled to see them.
